San Luis gained heirloom from UPLB

Selected farmers, teachers and youth from San Luis participated in the Organic Farm Inputs Preparation and Application Training at Binhing Pamana, University of the Philippines, Los Baños, Laguna on August 18, in relation to the promotion and implementation of organic farming in the community.

Apparently, extending knowledge from one individual to another seems to be a crucial fragment to change one’s belief as this may lead to an unwanted outcome. However, due to several adverse impacts to the environment and human health, people perceive the essence of natural farming to lessen the threat. The training highlighted the use of Indigenous Microorganisms, Fermented Plant Juice, Fermented Fruit Juice, Organic Pesticides, and Fish Amino Acids in replacement to the agrochemicals. Notably, the training is beneficial for all the participants especially those who are carrying out Gulayan sa Barangay and Gulayan sa Paaralan Projects. Hopefully, the key ideas may be shared to the rest of the people of San Luis, the best legacy they can have.
